Tuesday


Today we covered vascular, seedless, non-flowering plants. These include things like club mosses, ferns and horsetail. The student had a lot of names for horsetails like snakegrass, and puzzle plant. They were instructed to see if they could find a fern. Then they were to turn the frond over to check if there were sori underneath. We also pulled apart one of the beans we planted last week to see if we could find the startings of the root and the cotyledon. We only found it in one bean. We concluded that the classroom was too chilly so we put the plants in the window in hopes that the sun will warm the seeds so they can grow.
